H pylori

[Lickylicky]

Ten years back I had h.pylori and was treated with antibiotics. I know that antibodies remain 12 to 18 months even after successful treatment so you can't test for it in the blood. I now need to be tested for h. Pylori ( its been 10 yrs since I last had it.) can I do the bloodtest again since it was so long ago?

Because of the H.pylori or the triple therapy?

When I had the triple therapy I had all sorts of stomach problems for a year afterwards.
